About The Position

The Healey Center and the NCRI function as a Coordination Center of the HEALEY ALS Platform Trial and other clinical trials in ALS – managing funding from philanthropy, foundations, and industry and collaborating with numerous external vendors, subcontractors, and clinical study sites.
